Bomm

The ‘Bomm’ viewpoint in Kautenbach looks back on an impressive past - from its original construction in 1913 to its rehabilitation in 2014.

The ‘Bomm’ viewpoint is located above Kautenbach and has a special story to tell. In 1913, the then owner of the railway station, Peusch, had a local association build ‘eng Bomm’ - a spherical structure majestically enthroned on a fir tree. This striking vantage point fell victim to the Germans during both world wars. The ‘Bomm’ has been standing again since 1947 - this time on a sturdy iron structure.

Over time, the weather took its toll on the ‘Bomm’ and in the late 1990s it finally had to give way to the elements. But the memory of the ‘Bomm’ lived on in the community.

Interestingly, the field name ‘Op der Bomm’ is not recorded in official records, but the locals have long called the place by this name. Perhaps this is due to the hill, which looks like a large hemisphere from Kautenbach and gave the viewpoint its name. In 2014, the Syndicat d'Initiative, in collaboration with the municipality, seized the opportunity to rebuild the ‘Bomm’. Today, a new ‘Bomm’ towers over the landscape and continues the legacy of this symbolic place - a place that preserves the picturesque panorama of Kautenbach unchanged.

The ‘Bomm’ can only be reached on foot. Various hikes, e.g. the Éislek Pad Kautenbach and the Escapardenne Lee Trail, lead past it.
